The Convention at Clarksburg to-morrow
will, we doubt not, be well attended,
ami liv a respectable body of delegates
from all parts of the district. There is a
wnviction abroad among Republicans that
ihf.v have a chance to win the light if they
make a judicious and harmonious nomination.
The feeling among the delegates who
till go from this county is to subordinate
ill mere personal considerations to ttie
food of the cniise. We judge that this is
the general feeling throughout the district.

Pin-iuiion, August 28.?The air is fairly
Ivleu down with rumors of an important
inn-ting of iron workers, which is to be held
in tbu city to-morrow. This much was asserted
bv a iiHiunfactuier who is invariably
kvII informed on such topics. "The delegate*
*tre chosen on Saturday and the
mertinj? is not only to he participated in by.
tunttbt-rs of this district, but of other district!
1 aui positive of what 1 Bay." This
modi and no more, the gcutleman stated.
A couple of iron-workers were found
tit-artiiu corner of Smithlicld street and
Fifth avenue. .
"Will reporters be admitted to your
mtetiiJj! to-morrow ?"
"I can't say; hut i don't sec why they
shouldn't," was the reply. His companion
iii-redropped a big wink aud the speaker
Ni'Meiilv became silent. Another ironlorktnlid
not so suddenly cease, but talked
of the meeting to'comeas if it were an
ivtired fact, intimating that it would be
heMatbVhiller 1 lull, ami that it would bean
interesting afl'uir. Though the statement
at the opening of this article was denied
hv Mr. Murtin. who lirst wiid. ruth?r
liuanlcdly, "I cannot say," and then,
more emphatically, "There will be
to Meeting," there' was something
in the action of the members
who crowded the sidewalk and gathered in
the otlice, that showed unmistakably that
something unusual was afoot. There wei e
earnest talks in an undertone, a strenuous
avoidance of reporters, and suspicious,
restive glances from all. If there is no i
meeting in immediate prospect, then these
actione, which to-day were so noticeable,
are inexplicable. It"there is a meeting tomorrow,
there is every reason for supposing
that it will he a most interesting one.1
President Jarrett's absence in Philadelphia
would invest a general meeting just now
with special significance and give weight to
the statement made to-day,thatit is to be an
assemblage of a discontented element of
the union.
horal atl'airs in connection with the
rtrikc are quiet. At Wilson, Walker <k
Co.'s mill, where the Union meu are at
work in the blacksmith department, matters
are reported satisfactory, and the subject
did Hot seem to especially interest
Secretary Martin. At the otlice of the
Bessemer Steel Works it was denied that
work would begin September 1st, as has
Ih'oii published. Just when the works
foiiIiI start was by no means certain.
"The Stewart Iron Company," said Mr.
John Chalfant, "at Sharon, 1 understand,
started up this morning." This is a nonanion
concern, and has been idle for some
time, makine repairs. Altogether the situttiiin
I- ..Inn it ~t
*hat will happen iu tlio very near future
than with actual goings-on, but it seems
reasonably certain that an important
meeting "of the Union will be held to*
morrow.
Reis Bros., proprietors of the sheet mill
at New Castle,- issued the following mauifato
on Saturday: All persons formerly in
f-ur employ who failed to respond to our
notice published August IS, 1SS2, are
hereby discharged, and their places are

H.MtNMsvit.i.K, 0 , August -8.?Tho Republican
Convention of the Seventeenth
Ohio district will meet here at 11 a.,m. tomorrow,
and the citizens of llarnes|
viilehave made elaborate preparations for
the entertainment of the delegates. The
I Convention will meet in Cily Hall, which
has been very nicely fitted up and decorated
for tho occasion with pictures,Hugs, etc.
The Local Committee, under the leadership
of Messrs. Kly, Piper, .Stnrbuek,Lewis,
Gmvetj, Petty and others,luive arranged everything
very conveniently, and tho prospcct
now is that there will be ample room
for the delegates and the friends of the candidates.
At this writing all the advices received
indicate that UpdejiralF will have at least
one hundred delegate*, and his nomination
U therefore a forgone conclusion. Kepubliihtnvt
I'l'tW'i-.ilK'. in tlii* imi.tlihni-lmnil nn?
very much pleased with the outlook, uud
regard thin result us uu overwhelming rebuke
to those who endeavored l?y unfair
charges and inuendocH to defeat Undegruir.
There are no delegations here yet; but
the JeUerson, Harrison and Noble delegations
are expected to arrive this afternoon
or evening.
Out of eleven delegatesrthus fur reported
from Noble county, nine are for Updegrail',
and two for a compromise candidate.
In Guernsey Updegrail' has secured two
delegates from Londonderry township,one
| from Spencer, one from Adams, one from
Valley, and one from Washington-live in
all.
iSo far as is known here now, Updegrafl
has all the delegates from Belmont outside
of Hull aire and Pultney township.
The music will hardly begin before
morning, as the Guernsey delegation is not
looked for till then.

Baknksvii.lk, August 28.?The afternoon
trains brought large numbers of delegates
from the eastern portion of lielmont and
Jefl'erson and from Noble and Guernsey
counties. Updegratr and Taylor came with
the delegates and at oncc established headquarters
at the Jrazier House, where they
received warm greetings from their friends.
The remaining delegations are expected at
midnight. The hotels are crowded, but
the choice of the convention being really
decided there is little to talk about, and
there has been no caucusing. Following
are the latest figures obtainable, and are
conceded to be correct by the Taylor men:

The UpdegralF men claim larger numbers
than given above from Jefferson and
Belmont, and ?a\r their favorite will not
have less than 115 votes. Hut as he will
in any event have a large majority of the
Convention, they can't effect the result.
It was announced to-day that Private
Dalzeil had formally entered tho field os
an independent candidate, and proposed
t) stick. This announcement has not had
auy visible efleet upon the Kepublicans
assembled here, and they will go right
ahead with the work they have come to do.
Tho dissatisfaction reported jus existing
in the St. Clairsvillo delegation on account
of the alleged closing ot the polls
too soon last Saturday will not be heard
from. Defeated delegates who are here say
there is nothing to kick about,and propose
to abide the result without a contest. So
far as is now known, no contests in any
quarters are apprehended. Taylor is the
regiment of much Hvmnathv from friend*.
and bears his defeat bravely. Ij is
claimed for him, that he has doue nothing
in the present canvass that will injure him
in future contests, and his friends will
stick to him until the last.
UpdegratTs men claim that he has gained
largely by reason of the personal abuse
showered upon him, and that unfair
charges brought against him have had the
efl'ectto strengthen him before the people.
They say their man has been the choice ol
the people alt along, aud that the primaries
have proven this to be the-case.
The Harnesvillc Cornet Band assembled
in front of the Frazier llouso this evening
and enlivened the occasion with some
ohoiee muitic.
It is mentioned as one of the curiosities
of the fight that tho ' removal" townships
of Belmont county are against Updegraif,
white anti-removal townships are for him,
Prominent Republicans here do not apprehend
any serious falling oil' in the lie
publican vote on Congressman this fall,
aud tay Updegrall* will get the full party
vote, as whatever dissatisfaction may exist
now will disappear before election 'day.

Clahksbuiio, August 28.?Tho JiegitUr
correspondent was in error in saying a
County Convention was held here last
Saturday. Tho district primaries were
held to seud delegates to the County Convention,
which meets next Wednesday,
and among the .delegates is Col. Ben Wilsou's
son, J..D. Wilson.
There are some, doubts as to whether
Gen. Gofl' will accept the.'Republican
nomination for Congress,. Ho hpu repeatedly
paid that he would not;but liis friends
persist In saying that ho muBt take it.1 lie
could go out of this county with his old
time majority of 3C0 Votes.
It is said hero that if General Gofl' cannot
be induced to run that A.. L. Husted,
who is i\ well-informed politician,a forcible
speaker and an active and wide awake
man, and very j>opnlar in this section, will
bo preferred by most of the
delegates. Certain it is, we have plenty

Wasiiisoton, August i!8.?Tho contest in Jj
tho Second Congressional District'of Miss- p
iesippi, in which Mr. Chalmers is running 0i
as'an Administration candidate, in tho G
hopo of securing Republican support, is not Ijj
to bo tho simplo contest it had promised to y
be. Mr. Hannibal C. Carter, the colored y
Republican who has announced himself oh li
an independent candidate in tho district,
und who seeks tho support pf the straightout
Republicans against Chalmers, pro- T|
poses to make an active contest, and his
friends here say tho tight in tho district
will bo tho hottest seen in that section for f0
years. Carter was a Grant delegate at the C1
Chicago Convention, and has hold
oilico for many years in his cr
State. He is an educated man, "was a sol- cc
dier, and early rose to prominence in tho th
public utFairs of his State, having as a ^
member of the Stato Legislature framed
and secured tho passage of a civil rights bill ?jj
in Mississippi some time before the pass- ci
nge of Sumner's measure of that name. Ho

whether Chalmers would receive tho in- mi
dorsement of the Administration and the {lr
aid of the Republican Congressional Com- ?|'
inittee. Col. Henderson, Secretary of tlie In
committee, waa not yet prepared to Bay '!
whether or not they would aid Chalmers,
but Carter, becoming satisfied that aid waa i\i
even now being sent him by the commit- *V|
tee, determined to enter the Held at once
as an independent candidate, lleleftherc Lc
on Tuesday last, and a ratification meeting
is to he held at Holly SpriugB on Mondav
night to indorse his candidacy.
iu an address to the Republican voters 01
of the dist rict lie says: "The quusi-indorseuient
of Mr. Chalmers by the Surdis Con- in
vention was. procured by illegitimate
, methods and is a fraud upon the people,
who were not consulted, and was a bitter
pill to a large majority of the members of -D'(
the convention." Explaining his own position,
he savs: "Conceding to my party all rc
it claims to have given to the colored race, h<
freedom and the ballot, it has done nothing or
entitling it to biud us hand and foot and a
turn us over to the leadership of the men .
whose hands have been deepest and \
reddest in the blood of Southern liepublicans.
This is precisely what they are *
now doing." And further adds "1
deny the right of men who have U1
taken no interest in our struggles and .
preferred to expend all their force on
doubtful Northern districts or cliques who i,
have piques to gratify to sell us out to such .
masters. I deny their capacity to even 1,1
judge what is best for us, which"is proved
in their men and methods. This transaction,
pooping to barter with tho chief of
aiuucrc, i? u uiui ujiuu inu jair name 01 me 10
parly which will not soou be forgotten. ?,i
Our blood and the bleaching bones of our k
dead protest against this monstrous crime."
Carter's friends concede that it is possible n,'
his candidacy, dividing the Republican .
strength, may give the district to the 111
Democrats, but they say they would sooner ?l
see a Democrat elected from the district J"
than see Chalmers returned. ai

Unquestionably there Is ft determine

sounds his there will be a large public ?'

room and given an audience of young meu.
! It must be said that the speech was equal C(:

it was Mr. McDonald's version of the party di
platform on the submission of the amend- J(

the reputed author of that plauk in the plati

THE WETZEL IDEA.. ; W
About 2 o'clock Thursday 1 was taking fj
dinner at tho Hailey lioiuje here, in com- ft
pauy with Sep. Hall, of New Martinsville, d
llie Jlajitter, reporter, aud uuother gentle- sj
man from Wetzel, whose ftnme 1 failed to
learn. However, be was a very pleasant ^
gentlemanly fellow J and had a way of ^
"decorating the conversation" which wa8 n
amusing to me. He blankety-blankcd tl
[jverj body who had auything to do with i?
{electing Weston as the place for the Contention.
It was oiit of the way, inacces- Jjj
rible as blank, and not a blankety-blanked w
convenience to be had. I suggested to b
tiim that not long ago a Congressional h
Convention was held at New Martinsville,
\ much smaller and more inaccessible [
:own than Weston, and then his handsome h
face smiled out with fond recollections of p
lioino and its comforts. "Right yon are, t'i
iir," mnd he. 4'brtt, by-gad, uv* icere' close to p
our liquor all the time! We didn't have to et
kvalk two miles to dampen Democratic p
- lay!" I naturally surrendered to this ar- },!
{uiuent and swore, by the Great Horn i
Spoon, to sugeest the jdea which occupied
:lie minds of the Governors of North and
south Carolina, to the incoming Congresiional
Committee. ^

As was telegraphed to you ln-fore the n
.'ouvention, Col. Wilson could have had &j
[lie nomination easily enough had he de* ?
sired it; and even as it was, he had great is
lilliculty in preventing his admirers from p
rating for liiin. Nothing but his presence h
in the convention, and his p.-rsistent re- ui
fuaal to accept a nomination, prevented lj
ijis being once more the ht a udurd-bearer of al
[he Democracy. Ills strength was not con- at
lined to the buck connticf, but he' had a <,l
liost of friends from the Panhandle. Good |>
may thank his stars that Col. lien faithful- hi
ly adhered to all the terms nominatul in b

statesman shown one sign of weakening on V
liiti contract with Davis, Maker, Camden r,
Co., "Ohio's lavoritc son" would have been pi
like Col. Dan, of Middlebourne, mourning at
for the lack of appreciation shown by the t<
Democracy. My former predictions as to ti
Mr. Wilson's future political life will not hi
